crossing lines~

"... if you cross a line and nothing happens,
the line loses meaning....
You keep drawing a line farther and farther away,
crossing it every time....
You'd be surprised at how easy it is ....
To lose yourself--to get lost.
Or maybe you wouldn't be surprised.
Maybe some of you already know.
To those people, I can only say: I'm sorry."
— Lauren Oliver (Before I Fall) there are lots of things...
I have learned along the way..
I had it written down differently..
the way the lines should cross...
trying to replicate some old hand smocking I had once done...
I kept crossing lines...
farther and farther I went...
but they kept losing meaning..
so..rather than giving up..
and feeling I had lost my way...
I decided to look at it..
from a different perspective..
cross the lines...
and reconnect...
and I found..
that this way...
not crossing so many lines..
and drawing them in..gave a form..
and the form...
had meaning...
I liked this shape...
that was what I had learned...
but you probably are not surprised~
and now it seems...
yet another pattern must be written..
but you knew this {smiles}

...hi Theresa...you speak right to my heart and to my mind...have let myself be part of rather lots of useless information on my effort to catch up with blogland....

...so I decided to just let it go...frustrated souls running to overpass one another while pretending friendships...I choose peace and here I always find it.

What brilliant words you chose again to so wisely share...accompanying your always inpiring pictures...

I love forming shapes...it probably relates to my having been a teacher for many years...I like helping in forming personalities...much like I currently do with forming spaces......but most of all I wish for my life to aquire a mostly needed form and structure, after so many changes the past 3 years...I so wish for change & stability at the same time.

I love your writing. Your honesty is so lovely. Thank you so much for being so truthful before us. The fingerless gloves are so ummy. I can not wait for the pattern. I think I will knit these lovely's for myself to remind me of "crossing lines-" ox

lovin the armwarmers.i am on #2 the greek waffles. already made the chinese waves. now i have to keep adding to the list. but don't worry this is a thanks and hopefully those that receive them will as be saying thanks!

There is something to be learned, something to ponder in everything your write Theresa...these words - so..rather than giving up..and feeling I had lost my way...I decided to look at it..from a different perspective -These are lines to live by...thank you so much for so often making me look at things from a different perspective xx

"For now she need not think about anybody.She could be herself. And that was what now ,she often felt the need of-to think; well not even to think. To be silent; to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated...Although she continued to KNIT, and sat upright, it was thus that she felt herself; and this self having shed its attachments was free for the strangest adventures."
